1. Create a firefox profile named "newspaper", so that you have a "default" profile and a "newspaper" profile.
2. Start firefox with "firefox -P default".
3. Exit and then restart firefox with just "firefox" to confirm that the profile is sticky, i.e., it starts with the "default" profile automatically.
4. Log out from GNOME with firefox running, such that its session state is saved.
5. Log back in.

Firefox *should* restart in the "default" profile after you log back in, but I find that it starts in the "newspaper" profile instead.

It doesn't ... asks for chosing the profile on startup.

Selecting 'don't ask on startup' and continuing ...

It doesn't for me ... starts in 'default' profile.
